Listen "That Time I Chatted with Dr. Robyne "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Teeter Talks, I sat down with the remarkable Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, a globally recognized scholar, award-winning author, and expert on resiliency, well-being, and stress. Her unique perspective blends lived experience, academic rigor, and practical tools to help people lead with intention and recover with grace. From surviving a traumatic car accident at 16, to leaving her dream job due to burnout, Robyne shares profound insights on what it means to lead well in today’s fast-paced world and how to build a life that’s grounded, resilient, and aligned with your values.Join us as we dive into these highlights: • Dr. Robyne’s gripping survival story and how it sparked her lifelong study of human resiliency.• The five pillars of resiliency—belonging, perspective, acceptance, hope, and humor—and how they shape everyday leadership.• Why slowing down is essential, not optional, for sustainable success.• Her practical definition of self-awareness and how to build it, even if it doesn’t come naturally.• How to reframe stress as energy and focus instead of a threat to be eliminated.• The leadership power of letting the most junior voice speak first.• The research-backed truth: a parent’s well-being is the strongest predictor of a child’s resiliency.If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love for you to leave a rating and review.
